Effie's Homemade is a 4th generation family recipe with origins in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. These family recipes became a business as they saw a market for people who love real food and crave a homemade taste. To that end, Effies has created this trio of tea biscuits from quality ingredients that we all know and love. Their crisp texture, hint of buttery sweetness, and a slightly salty finish make them a perfect treat any time of day.

Oatcakes: Effie's Oatcakes are great by themselves, but they're also wonderful when paired with other specialty foods. Try them with sharp cheddar, blue Stilton, or in oakcake S'mores!

Nutcakes: Effies combined the sweetness of Southern pecans with stone-ground whole wheat and wildflower honey to create these irresistible nutty tea biscuits. Effie's Pecan Nutcakes have a comforting flavor and buttery texture that make them perfect with your favorite hot or cold beverage. Try topping with stone fruit preserves, or pair with goat and blue cheeses.

Cocoacakes: Effie's signature Oatcakes now have a chocolate-y twist. Effie’s Cocoacakes are crisp, buttery cookies lightly malted and layered with toasted coconut. Deep, dark and oh-so delicious, try with a glass of cold milk or crumble on top of your favorite ice cream.

Ryecakes: Reminiscent of traditional European country breads, Effie’s Ryecakes have an earthy, walnut flavor and a touch of caraway. These crispy biscuits are lightly sweetened with a lingering butter flavor that begs for a robust cup of tea or coffee. A natural pairing, try Effie’s Ryecakes topped with sharp cheddar cheese alongside your favorite ale… it’s a classic!

This is somewhat like a shortbread cookie/cracker with bits of oatmeal within...very tasty-buttery.

Wonderful

Received these biscuits in a gift basket for Christmas and absolutely loved them. Love the butter taste and had to have more.

Tea Biscuits

I thought the Oatcakes were outstanding: with a great shortbread substance and texture and a rich buttery flavor. The Nutcakes are also good, but not quite at the same level. I look forward to trying the ryecakes.

Effies Oatcakes

Excellent flavor and strong enough not to crumble when loaded with cheese.

Homemade is best made

I decided to give these a shot as I was looking for a good complimentary cracker to have with either tea or coffee. So far I've tried the Ryecakes, Oatcakes, and the Cocoacakes. They're all very different, but exquisite in their own ways. I'm looking forward to trying the rest.

Oatcakes: Absolutely wonderful

These biscuits are reminiscent of shortbread, but wonderfully "oaty". They simply melt in your mouth. They are great with hot tea and fine to eat just on their own.
